For those who want to buy a pay-as-you-go phone you can get the Alcatel U5 for £59.99 with a £10 top up or LG K4 2017 (£79.99 with a £10 top up) and Beats EP headphones thrown in for £50, saving £39.95.

You can also add accessories to existing contracts to spread the cost.

PS4 versus Xbox One

Price

The Xbox One currently retails at around £230.

Since the release of the ramped up Xbox One S, the price of the original console has dropped, with many bundles now available for £200.

PS4 Slim, retails for £249 with a 500GB hard drive as standard.

Like Xbox One, there are plenty of bundles that throw in a couple of games.

Larger memory variants can also be found at an added cost.

Games

PlayStation has lots more exclusives which is one of its biggest selling points.

Japanese games developers which turned to mobile games are returning to the platform bringing out the Last Guardian and Yakuza 0.

On the other hand, Xbox has Halo 5: Guardians and Quantum Break

Tech specs
There's not that much difference in the tech specs between the two.

They both have 8GB memory, similar CPU and 500GB storage as standard.

Pay £20 per month to get the PS4 plus Gran Turismo Sport - but run the risk of losing out on a cheaper price after Christmas.
